LOL...I didn't even think about that... I couldn't get "ORIGINAL" so I got the updated version of the 30mm carbs that replaced them...
I did think about going with a bit bigger carbs like 32MM but not for long...
as I am not planning on making the bike any noisier than it is right now
adding cams and flow through exhaust would do just that...so it's good enough with the stock sized carbs....
....
I am getting to like these AMAL 900 carbs though, except for the fact that you can't clean the pilot jet on the original carbs the design is pure
simplicity !
...
I know my Brother-in-law's 200 Triumph tiger cub ran for years with out even a hick-up from the carb so they are a reliable design...
...His bike was My first introduction to anything bigger in size then a 90cc honda.
and boy I really liked that bike.... even if the ball bearing in the clutch rod arrangement kept falling out ..other than that it had low end torque out the Kazoo !
....
